Space Lion

[@mrdropkicker1]

That, my son is the tear of a warrior

[@daystillnight]

A pitiful soul who could not find his way to the lofty realm where the great spirit awaits us all...

[@daystillnight]

@Bunt Cakes i think this second part is meant for spike. He has 'died" before, but didn't yet go to the lofty realm

[@Pearse551]

You can't pass on til you figure this place out. Why do you think war perpetuates? Or that our genes and consciousness push us towards one unified destiny. Listen to the music bruh.

[@justcallmesando]

I am here back again, this is just top level. Yoko Kanno needs to see this one.

[@CellarPhantom]

I love coming back to this video

[@brianlo614]

Song echoes through time, thanks space cowboy

[@joshuabraddy6264]

This was a beautiful rendition, I actually started to tear up listening to it. Definitely the best cover of the song I've seen - you should be really proud of this.

[@blakebranchbass]

Joshua Braddy Thanks, Joshua!

The algorithm finally put this in my queue again.

[@anasg007]

This is art Blake. Hope you’re doing good these days.

[@RainierGerman]

Just found his facebook. He's still awesome.

[@SplendidCoffee0]

It is an absolute shame that this video isn’t as popular as it deserves to be. It actually made my eyes tear up because of how perfectly you translated Yoko Kanno’s version while still making it your own song. Keep on jamming, Blake.

Criminally under viewed

[@cadethacker]

I don't normally comment on videos, but this floored me. Keep it up man. That was epic.

[@xaviercaumont8020]

Exactly the same here, this dude is really good and keeps all the soul and the spirit of this great composition... such a masterpiece to see and hear, so mellow and peaceful glad i landed here, thank you sir!

[@Old_90s_nerd]

I'm crying , you made a grown man cry . God bless you .

[@ZMaine]

I've revisited this video many times since I first discovered it 4 years ago and it still gives me chills. Absolutely astounding.

[@wesG09]

I logged into my account just to comment on this video and tell you that I cried listening to this...you captured spirit of this song flawlessly, and in this moment, separated by time and space, my spirit has met yours.... The emotion in this is so, so powerful...

[@lordification1]

See you, space cowboy....

[@jdblackwell2]

I never thought of bass as a solo melodic instrument but this really marks a huge paradigm shift for me. Excellent work.

[@giulio2797]

every once in a while I come back here.. always a pleasure. Incredibly beautiful and relaxing. It gives the same exact vibes as the original if not even more relaxing. More than 10 years later... Thank you for this cover

[@YYwb]

You grasped the most beautiful essence of her OST, it is just amazing man.

[@benjaminherreralizana3937]

Been listening lately to so many uninteresting renditions of Cowboy Bebop songs. This however is amazing. Great job!

[@ZMaine]

Seriously, this needs so much more attention. Because this is amazing.

[@brandonm4688]

Years later, still so good.

[@brettlikesbeans685]

the best cover i have found for this song! very smooth, playing with ease makes the song seem effortless. thank you for this

[@RemingtonNevada]

i love my fellow cowboy bebop fans, i really do. Even after I got bored watching the series and the movie a hundred times, I went on to the massive ost and just listen to it non stop, forgetting it was an anime! And then all the creative covers (such as yours) keeps it fresh. It had so much dept in it's coolness, you know?

[@agplugged]

If I'll ever get to play Space Lion like this in my lifetime, I'll die a happy man.

[@evox64]

Create in 2021 new version. Thanks! Epic!

[@dreandro458]

this deserves more attention. good job!

[@ericthomasanderson5025]

pure gold

[@alejandroperaza5406]

This is one of the best songs I have ever heard in my whole life. Thanks for your art and for your music. See you Space Cowboy...

[@europenroad506]

I use to have the original space lion as a mantra for relaxing, to find that calm place in my mind ...well...your song just took its place

[@jam560]

this guy plays the bass likes it a piano and i cant even play the piano like its a bass mental skilled

[@Gem.Jacinth]

EXCELLENT MAN !!!!!!! JUST RIGHT !!!

[@TheKillmess]

what a tune bro

[@justcallmesando]

This should be in the live action version

[@christianvallejo8262]

Great rendition

[@PyrozPlayground]

Tears, man. :') This is a beautiful cover!

[@michaelricobene1093]

Absolutely beautiful

[@BlueishBb]

Haha, just when I sat down to work on an arrangement of this song for bass, I stumbeled upon your version. And I thought I was so original :) Glad to hear that someone else has realized how perfect this melody fits the bass guitar. Very nice done btw, both the playing and the arrangement!

[@mau-1019]

amazing bass solo!

[@couldntthinkofagoodnamesoi8357]

Really nice

[@rubenrodriguez4431]

Thanks dude for this sweet Dream!!! Yoko Is a genius! See you space cowboy

[@gxtmfa]

One of the most beautiful pieces I've heard on bass and probably the best argument I've heard for learning extended techniques.

[@blakebranchbass]

Wow, thanks!

[@gxtmfa]

No- thank you!

[@gxtmfa]

Since watching this video 2 years ago, I’ve been refining my harmonics and it’s really improved what I can bring to the table.

[@andylu6150]

@@gxtmfa Hey. Music noob here, could you describe to me what "extended techniques" and "harmonics" mean? Thanks!

[@MILOPETIT]

@@andylu6150 Harmonics are what he does at the end - to get that kind of sound you just let your finger rest on the string instead pressing it. It's pretty impressive when it's done this fast because it requires a lot of precision :3

[@OsCeusDeclaram]

I'm always back to this video after many years because it calms me down. A beautiful composition with an outstanding soulful performance. Perfect.

[@EvgeniyNeutralMusician]

Oh, great job, your performance was absolutely beautiful. This is one of the most favourite pieces for me ever. Masterpiece. As "Cowboy Bebop" itself. Interesting and wonderful performace. Go on the same spirit. I wish to listen and watch more my favourite Yoko Kanno compositions performed by you... Please, do it. No wonder, I subscribed. Best wishes.

[@ephalber]

I echo JB's comments, your rendition is so beautiful I found myself crying. You are an amazing musician. I hope you keep at it as people need to hear you play. Loved Raspberry Heaven too.

[@trixiedegraaf2143]

How beautiful.. Thank you for this rendition.

[@misspepper56174]

Really, though, you did such a stunning job. I can't even express how amazing this is. I thought nothing could top the sound of a saxophone, but my god, this...I wish I could download it a hundred times

[@poofgh1488]

My vocabulary cannot fully explain how utterly beautiful and amazing this is it's been years since I first listened to this and whenever I'm lost I always go back to this. Thank you for creating this, it's one of the things I will never forget.

[@GuitaristTrue]

This is brilliant. Space Lion is my favorite song of all time, and this is SO good man. Keep it up.

[@guillermobarizone3272]

[@samcooke343]

This is incredible, I'm speechless.

[@josheichorn980]

Wait, that’s a BASS??? I thought it was maybe a baritone guitar. The strumming is very guitar-like. This is fantastic. Amazing cover. I hope Yoko Kanno hears this one someday. Beautiful stuff.

This is one of my favorite songs and I thought I'd never love another version... Until now! Great job and keep up the great work!!!

[@DurfMcAllister]

WOW. This has always been one of my absolute favorite songs because of how well it was executed in the show, as well as that it is just an incredible piece in general. Really had a huge impact on me, musically and spiritually. Pair that with one INCREDIBLE musician playing it and a beautiful Fodera bass with perfect tone and you have something I could listen to for hours. You really did it justice man, this is pure art. Incredible job.

[@TheColdRamen]

Outstanding job man! I would have never thought someone would actually cover Space lion let alone on bass!!! Wicked man!

[@angryenglish363]

I am floored. Great job brother.

[@daisuke4bleach]

this is one of my all-time favorite songs and what you did with it is amazing. Keep playing. Nice to see someone play solo bass.

[@zizimugen4470]

Nice job up to the 3:00 mark with keeping the notes steadily rolling in that down-time! It's a beautiful cover to a beautiful song!

[@zizimugen4470]

Snap, that comment was posted before you jumped an octave! O_O Quite the switch of an ending!

[@BaronVonRolo]

I've watch this at least once a week for the last 6 months or so, and for some reason I've never commented on it. In terms of a cover it's absolute perfection! It's rare a cover can make you go back and look at an original recording and find new elements to enjoy in it, but this got it bang on. Hats off to you sir, fantastic work!
